My favorite dinings in Jax are
Bistro Aix (French fare),
Indochine (Thai),
Casbah Cafe (Mediterranean),
The Loop for casual fare and the best Burgers and Pizza
Others: Pei Wei, La Nopalera
and I've never been to a BBQ joint, chain or not, that I didn't like LOL.

Bern's is solid for its steak. Probably gets some extra attention for having the world's largest restaurant wine collection. If you are in Tampa and haven't been, you should go...and take the kitchen/wine cellar tour.
Donatello in Tampa is a great Italian restaurant...bring your big wallet.
La Cena in Jacksonville was my favorite spot there. Jerry, the owner and chef, spends a lot of time chatting up the tables and telling you what to eat and drink, which not everybody likes. I lived about three blocks from La Nop and ate there quite a bit. Metro Diner for brunch. European Street for sandwiches and giant beers 2-for-1.
I was just in Miami and had an insane seafood feast at Mignonette. Instead of bread, they brought out croissants and lobster butter!
Pepe's in Key West is one of my all time favorite restaurants.

So is Los Portales. They have a location at Belfort/JTB and off 210 in St Johns County. I won't go near La Nopalera, especially the one on Hendricks. I think it's been shut down by the Health Dept on several occasions.
Bistro Aix and BBs are two of my favorites. My new favorite BBQ joint is Woodpeckers. It's in a old beat up building at 210 and SR 13. Datil Pepper Baked Beans and brisket that will make you want to slap your mama.
No way. Colonel Mustards at Philips/Baymeadows, Poes in Atlantic Beach, Blind Rabbit in Riverside, M-Shack and several other places have burgers better than The Loop.
Pinegrove Market and Deli in Riverside has a kick ass burger. It's made from their dry aged beef. Absolutely delicious.
Actually my home grilled burgers are the best in Jax.
Grilled Angus beef, on an oversized fresh onion roll, schmear of blue cheese dressing, thick cheddar slice, fried onions sliced thin, lettuce, tomato, dash of mustard and ketchup and topped with pickle chips (I prefer bread and butter but dill is good too)
Outrageous. Can't you tell it's lunchtime?
